Overview

Founded in 1967 by the late managing director Sir Graeme Douglas MNZM FPS, Douglas Pharmaceuticals is one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical development and manufacturing companies in Oceania. In 2008 Douglas Pharmaceuticals acquired their first nutraceutical brand, called Clinicians, which was also founded (in 1997) by two pharmacists, Mike Cushman and Denis Kay.
Clinicians is dedicated to touching the world with wellness through information, education and a wide range of dietary supplements based on sound research. With the impact of today’s lifestyle we need more than modern medicines to deliver the total answer to looking after your health. As pharmacists, and health professionals, our duty of care led us to research the specific influence medicines have on overall wellbeing.
Based on this complete understanding and a decade of sound research, Clinicians high-quality products support rather than compete with modern medicines and take into account the world we live in.
In late 2015 Douglas Pharmaceuticals acquired another nutraceutical brand called Phloe. Phloe has a patented and unique triple action of enzymes, prebiotics and fibre which have been isolated entirely from New Zealand green kiwifruit. This triple action works naturally with the body to optimise bowel health.
